listening to some pretty wild theories about how nato/us is going to majorly escalate in europe before elections because the us is unwilling to directly intervene in the middle east and, other than israel, doesn't really have any proxies in the area that can reliably go to bat for it. unlike in europe, where you have the baltics and the rest of nato baying for russian blood. best part about the prediction is that once the escalation happens we'll get to see a dprk intervention in belarus. cant tell if the dude is serious or is just manifesting finno korean hyperwar energies.

US Says It Doesn’t Want a Ceasefire in Lebanon, Supports Israeli Offensive
The State Department said Tuesday that it doesn’t want to see a ceasefire in Lebanon and supports the heavy Israeli bombardment of the country to “degrade Hezbollah.”
State Department spokesman Matt Miller was asked about comments from Hezbollah Deputy Sheikh Naim Qassem, who said the group supports efforts by Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to reach a ceasefire without mentioning that it must also include a ceasefire in Gaza.
“Now that Hezbollah is on the back foot and is getting battered, suddenly, they’ve changed their tune and want a ceasefire,” Miller told reporters.
Miller claimed the US “ultimately wants a diplomatic solution” but voiced strong support for Israeli military operations, which have killed more than 1,250 people, including over 100 children. “We support Israel’s efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s capability,” he said.
Being an imperial spokesperson must be the world's easiest job. You don't even have to practice your lying or two-facing skills any more since everything's just mask off nowadays

Following up on my college football post from last week, its time for another important piece of college football news:
The time is currently 9:47 PM CST, and the University of Oklahoma still sucks!
This Saturday at 2:30 PM CST, the #1 University of Texas Longhorns will take on the #18 University of Oklahoma Sooners in the 120th Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl at the Texas State Fair in Dallas, TX. Originally called the Red River Shootout before a bunch of incel school shooters caused gatdang PC liberals to cancel that much cooler name, what many consider to be the best rivalry game in college sports will take place in a neutral stadium located almost completely equidistant between the two universities (its 9 miles closer to OU). Fans will show up Saturday morning, many still drunk from the night before, to continue drinking and eating corny dogs in front of a 55 foot tall animatronic Texan, hoping to cheer on their team to victory in a stadium split evenly down the middle between the two teams. Hopefully, the team named after the beautiful and majestic Texas Longhorn will defeat the team named after a bunch of filthy settlers who stole land from the Native Americans! The winner will get to take home the rivalry's trophy, the Golden Hat, a gold-plated 10-gallon cowboy hat, and the loser will get to throw up on the rides on the Midway after getting too drunk and filling their stomachs with some of this year's award winning foods (CW Meat) : the Dominican Fritura Dog, the Cotton Candy Bacon on a Stick, and the Texas Sugar Rush Pickles!
Is the sports comm dead or what? Hype posting for a future match between a corn oil based team vs an oiled corn based team doesn't seem very newsworthy
very very little activity, most of this site really does not like sports. It's something I don't quite understand, this is a phenomenon I've noticed in real life too most of the socialists I've met really do not like sports, neither playing nor watching. One time when we were planning a social get together with another org I suggested we kick a soccerball around or throw a frisbee and got looked at like I had grown a 3rd head. like it's not even just because we're nerds, people fucking hate esports on here too for the most part
The college football comm has a bunch of .world users and hexbear is defederated. It's not all that active anyway so it's extra dead from hexbear.
It's cultural news. A Dominican corn dog made out of cheese and salami that won the Texas State Fair is an important cultural event. It also gives non-Americans an insight into the mainstream glorification of settler colonialism and how it seeps into things like sports until it seems innocuous.
This is what's going to replace FEMA:
